Due to the power of community, I’m able to transform advocacy into leadership, ideas into resources, and pain into purpose.
Chivas Watson—Founder and Lead Administrator of WorkingGroup512 (WG512) and Leading with Conviction™ 2023 graduate—sprung into action recently, after getting a call about five men released from incarceration.
Against an already-filled schedule, Chivas and WG512 members worked quickly to provide each individual with 175 pounds of food, digital devices, $1K in clothing, new bedding, $1K in bus passes, and quality job leads within the first four days after their release.
Chivas says, “Due to the power of community, I’m able to transform advocacy into leadership, ideas into resources, and pain into purpose.”
WG512 provides direct service to individuals and families across Austin and in the Central and South Texas regions: providing food deliveries, outfitting homes with second-hand furniture, ensuring support and resources to unhoused neighbors, helping moms, and much more. Learn more about their work.
In our 10th anniversary year, JustLeadershipUSA’s work of educating, elevating, and empowering justice-impacted leaders continues and is growing even stronger!
This is going to be a very special time to look back on the past decade of JLUSA’s important work, the 1,600+ leaders we have helped get to the next level in their work, and even more importantly, we will look ahead to the next 10 years and beyond!
We can’t do this without you. We need your support to help us continue to do this work now and into the future. By making a donation in honor of JLUSA’s 10th anniversary year, you are saying to the amazing leaders in our network who represent the 70+ million Americans who have been directly impacted by the criminal legal system, “I see you, and I support you!”
Please give a one-time $100 gift or set up a recurring $10 monthly donation to celebrate JLUSA’s 10th anniversary year, and together we will build a fair and just U.S. Thank you!
